No customized recipes always take precedence.

No, I believe it happens each time a recipe job gets started. There are no provisions for patching the installation, and it isn't in the user cache. Besides, if people don't use recipes why check for updates?

And as The Man said, linking the fix is just his (terse) way of saying "I've fixed this issue, and here is a link to prove it/show you what changed".

(For instance, on a couple of recipes that are very big, I've customized them to download only articles that are less than 1 or 2 days old for example, which makes sense for something you download daily.) Or, does the customized recipe get used, and therefore the updates are bypassed until the user switches to the new recipe?

The customized version gets used. You will need to manually update your customized recipe if it gets updated in source.
